What size dental bone do you give the dog weighing under 25 pounds?We could use more of a guideline regarding this.

I have a 17# Mini Australian Shepherd and give him the mini ones. I accidentally ordered the small size and have to break them in half for him. They do break easily, so you might want to figure if it's a better buy to do this or get the minis. My little guy does like them, unfortunately so do my 4 cats, so he has to make sure he finishes before the cats get to it. LOL

I have a 15 pound Norwich Terrier and give him a "mini" every night. The other is a 29 pound Scottie and I give him a "small" at night. Hope this helps. The bones are expensive is why I went for the mini, there are 31 in the package.

My miniature dachshund weighs 10 lbs. and gets the mini-size which are about 2.5 inches long. You could probably go up a size (you get more for the money with the larger size).

The bag for the mini size says for dogs 5-15 lbs. I'm assuming the small size would be for a dog correspondingly larger.

I give the minis to my 14 lb. yorkie mix and the small to my 30 lb. Cardigan Corgi. I would lean towards the smalls for a 25 lb. dog.

Maybe you can ask again and see what the weight is. That seemed to be the problem for our dog. It is a big chunk of solid. I gave my away to a friend with a bigger dog, or I'd check for you. It was too heavy for out 9# maltese. Robert is right -- it's not too expensive, so if it works, you'd have a great toy, and if it doesn't, it wasn't a big investment, and you could gift elsewhere.

Check the weight range on the package, it should be listed in the description. I would think medium to be sufficient, but make sure first. If the weight is not listed, check you local pet store to be sure.

I think he'll be just fine, especially since he is a puppy. One of my dogs is just over 20 pounds and she does great with them. More important than the size of the dog would be the condition of his teeth and the strength of his bite. Since yours is a puppy, these may work until he needs the larger size. Another option is to buy the larger size and just give him half a stick. They break easily.

My puppy is 6 months, 30 lbs, and I would classify her as a moderate chewer. She's had it for a little while now. I got her the "giant" one. It's not all that easy for her to bring around, but she learned how, and it is standing the test of a puppy who is growing molars. She mostly only uses it when she gets into really aggressive chewing spurts. She mostly uses stuffed animals (they don't last long, but she loves 'em), a rope, and a red Kong bone.

I have Bloodhounds. Most are over 100 lbs and they are fine. I think it has more to do with energy level and pain tolerance rather than size.

Nope! It seems large enough to be comfortable for a dog up to about 25 pounds, if that helps.

I'm not really sure because my dog is only 5 pounds. I would only go up to 20 pounds but maybe someone else has a better answer

My dog is about 6-7 pounds, I ordered the round one which worked great. I think the bone would also work.

This one is for a smaller dog. I think up to 25-30lbs but they do make ones for larger dogs too

Our dog is 20lbs (well, actually 22lbs but he's a bit sensitive about it); he's on the larger end of small dogs and the small cot is a good size for him (just big enough). The medium might be too small for your pup. I measured a dog pad we have in the house as a guide, that might work for you too.

I would contact Sherpa and ask for their recommendations. I have a 16 pounder that does fine in it. But it would depend on how tall your pet is, if he/she is a chewer, scratcher, etc -- since it's not a hard side carrier it is not indestructible if you have a determined, strong chewer. Some breeds of dogs have bigger teeth than others the same size -- terriers for example have big teeth for dogs their size/weight.

Medium is good. I got medium for my German Shepard when he was only 30 lbs and he's 60 lbs now and still plays with it all the time. It fits his mouth and I have no concern of him swallowing it.

Our dog is a small Jack Russell mix.....13-14 pounds. We give her 1/2 a chew every day.

Today I gave my Shi Tzhu a home clipping and was shocked at how fat he got -- he's now 20lbs. How did this happen? What a dope I was. I've been giving him three dental chews a day for months now. Of course he gained four lbs or so. Will cut back to one daily.
